About this artwork
MNA 8 is the wall sculpture created from sakura petals and epoxy resin. Sakura is a symbol of 'mono no aware' in Japan because of its short blooming period. The artist aims to restart and actualize the viewer’s perception of the sadness of the loss of the past to enhance the joy of the present and change the optics. A direct encounter with the material pattern of nature immerses the viewer in meditative reflections on the value of a fleeting moment…
and gives time and silence for self-searching. The viewer is allowed to see the world through the prism of "mono no aware" as the work is primarily transparent. This transparency is an empty space for the viewer's thoughts, values, and feelings. The work is fundamentally tuned to the tone of the environment and the audience's empathy. The experience of watching the end of the cherry blooming period fixed in a material object in an attempt to preserve an elusive beauty is protected from the barbaric intrusion of technologies and virtualities.
